Well Ya But LPEC on steame fulled me I think.Me and a few frinds tryed it but we couldn't see each others games.Don't think They maintain there servers.LPcolonies still works because it's through windows live.also on ps3 where i come from,i'm sure some ppl stil play.add me as friend if you want.i'm LP's biggest Fan!

How many players play this usually? Like is there always a game to join?

On this piticular version of Lost planet No.On Ps3 yes there are still some who play.If you get Lost Planet Extreme condition Colonies edition there will be some players at some times.The only real players you'll lfind playing it, is Me and like 5 other frinds of mine.The rest are a group that only play the one crapy game mode called counter grab.if you want to play with ppl add me as a friend.it really is by far the best online game.just get Colonies not regular Lost Planet.
